Culinary Myth #2: Poison Bananas!

Join us as we cook through a new recipe in almost every episode of our podcast, straight from our kitchen to yours. And look for the smaller bonus episodes in which we take down cooking myths or work through some of the common cooking mistakes. We'll make your laugh. Promise.

No, you cannot be poisoned by a banana stored in the
fridge--even if the skin has turned black. How do these stupid
internet rumors get started? We'll tell you what's
really going on and why sometimes it's best to store your
bananas in the refrigerator.

About the Podcast

Join Bruce Weinstein, the chef, and Mark Scarbrough, the writer, as they work their way through recipes and culinary myths. Once a week, they'll cook through a recipe in real time--complete with all the travails that could bring to this long-married couple. What's more, once a week they'll gleefully disabuse you of the greatest cooking mistakes they've seen in their years teaching classes, distilled into short, funny episodes. Twice a week at the same price! (Zero dollars.) You can't beat that. Plus, you'll laugh. Promise.
